A crazy discrepancy in gas prices in Washington County

May 5, 2017 – Washington Co., WI – Motorists across Washington County are trying to wrap their heads around the discrepancy in gas prices as a gallon of regular unleaded in Germantown and Jackson is $2.29 while prices in West Bend hover around $2.42 a gallon.

Was the article titled: A crazy discrepancy in gas prices in Washington County; from May, 2017, ever followed up on? Do we know why Washington County gas is anywhere from 5 cents to 30 cents more expensive? I previously lived in Dodge county for 9 years and now Washington county for the past 7. This has been consistent for that 16 year time-span. Yesterday Germantown was charging 2.69 for regular unleaded vs. 2.94 in West Bend. Is there only one fuel distributor in the county vs. multiple in others? Is there some obscure county tax?
